Objective To interpret genetic variation and population structure of Anopheles dirus A and D from China by molecular marker. Methods Samples included An. dirus A of Hainan laboratory colony (n=13), and field specimen from Mengla (n=17) and Jiangcheng (n=17) in Yunnan Province. The specimens were identified by PCR assay before study. mtDNA-COⅠ region was amplified and sequenced. Genetic variation and population structure was estimated according to sequence data. Results The mtDNA-COⅠ gene with a length of 959 bp was analyzed. There were three haplotypes in An. dirus A and six haplotypes in An. dirus D. The above haplotypes distributed in three populations unif-ormly. The average number of pairwise differences within Mengla population (7.441 2) was greater than that of Jiangcheng (1.279 4) and Hainan (1.051 3) populations, which suggested that the level of genetic divergence was the highest within Mengla population. The result of hierarchical AMOVA estimation showed a limited geneflow (Fst=0.799 9), therefore the variation level in a population (20.01%) was smaller than among the populations (79.99%). Conclusion The inter-specific genetic variation between An. dirus A and D in China was small and the level of divergence among individuals was high.

Objective To isolate the microsatellite DNA of Phlebotomus chinensis and screen the polymorphic loci.Methods Genomic DNA fragments were hybridized with biotinylated oligonucleotide probes(AAT)17,(GA)25,(CCT)17,and(TG)18.The hybridized fragments were captured with Vectrex Avidin D and enriched by centrifugal ultrafiltration with ultra-4-column ultrafiltrate.The target fragments were amplified,cloned and sequenced.The suitable microsatellite loci were chosen in Ph.chinensis's library to establish PCR amplification assay.The polymorphism screening was conducted by PAGE with Ph.chinensis field specimens.Results The enrichment protocol used in this study was efficient,with a percentage of recombinant clone as 78.6%.There were 118 microsatellite sequences in library,the GenBank accession numbers were from FJ919812 to FJ919932(except GenBank accession numbers FJ919833,FJ919836,and FJ919869).There were 72 typical microsatellite sequences occupying 61.0% and the rest were 46 nontypical microsatellite sequences in the library.Twenty-two loci were chosen to polymorphism screening and PAGE showed that 14 loci were polymorphic.The loci of dinucleotide repeat were more polymorphic than those of trinucleotide and polynucleotide repeat.Conclusion The microsatellite-containing library of Ph.chinensis has been constructed with 118 sequences,and 14 new polymorphic microsatellite loci are reported.

Objective To observe efficacy of different acupuncture and moxibustion methods for treatment of nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy. Methods One hundred and sixty-three cases were randomly divided into electroacupuncture group (42 cases), warm acupuncture combined with electroacupuncture group (37 cases), ginger moxibustion group (44 cases) and control group (40 cases). All groups received postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. Three acupuncture and moxibustion groups received electroacupuncture, warm acupuncture combined with electroacupuncture, ginger moxibustion to stimulate bilateral Zusanli (ST36), Neiguan (PC6), respectively, once a day. The control group was given tropisetron hydrochloride 5 mg+normal saline 100 mL, 30 min before chemotherapy intravenously, once a day to the end of chemotherapy. The number and degree of vomiting and the serum 5-HT content were tested, and the safety test was conducted. Results The complete control rate and effective control rate of acute vomiting of electroacupuncture group and warm acupuncture combined with electroacupuncture group were higher than those of ginger moxibustion group and control group (P<0.05). The complete control rate of delayed vomiting in warm acupuncture combined with electroacupuncture group was significantly higher than that of electroacupuncture group, ginger moxibustion group and control group (P<0.05); The effective control rate was higher than that of ginger moxibustion group and control group (P<0.05); Electroacupuncture group and Ginger moxibustion group were higher than the control group (P<0.05). The scores of acute vomiting in electroacupuncture group and warm acupuncture combined with electroacupuncture group were lower than others (P<0.05). In delayed vomiting, warm acupuncture combined with electroacupuncture group's score was lower than other groups, with statistical significance (P<0.05); Electroacupuncture group and ginger moxibustion group were lower than that incontrol groups, with statistical significance (P<0.05). The levels of serum 5-HT in electroacupuncture group and ginger moxibustion group were higher than warm acupuncture combined with electroacupuncture group (P<0.05), but lower than the control group (P<0.05). No obvious adverse reactions were found in each group. Conclusion Different acupuncture methods had different clinical effects on acute vomiting and delayed vomiting caused by chemotherapy.

Objective] To clarify the taxonomic status of Anopheles lesteri and An.anthropophagus in China. [Methods] Using molecular identification (PCR assay and rDNA\|ITS2 sequencing) to examine the field anopheline mosquito specimens from Liaoning and Shandong. According to the ITS2 sequences, molecular phylogenetic tree was made. [Results] According to the molecular identification, An.lesteri and An.anthropophagus were distributed both in Liaoning Province and Shandong Province. The length and GC content of rDNA\|ITS2 sequence were 451 bp, 46 2% in An.lesteri (n=6), and 448 bp, 46 0% in An.anthropophagus (n=10), respectively. The ITS2 sequences from presentation sites were same in An.lesteri, while the intraspecies difference in An.anthropophagus was 0 88%. The specific difference between An.lesteri and An.anthropophagus was 25 7%. By analyzing molecular phylogenetic tree, the relationship between An.lesteri and An.sinensis, An.anthropophagus and An.liangshanensis was found to be closer. [Conclusion] According to the molecular identification, it was defined that An.lesteri and An.anthropophagus were sympatric independent species in China.

ABSTRACT:Objective To investigate the prevalence of thyroid nodules in Xi’an City by ultrasonography and study the correlation between thyroid nodules and the components of metabolic syndrome.Methods We recruited 4 527 subjects in this cross-sectional study and divided them into thyroid nodules (TN)group and non-thyroid nodules (NTN)group.The height,weight,blood pressure,blood sugar,lipid,and serum uric acid were measured and analyzed.The relationship between thyroid nodules and thyroid function was assessed in the subjects who received TT3,TT4,TSH,TGAB,and TPOAB tests.Results ① The prevalence of thyroid nodules was 31.8% and was significantly higher in the female patients (38.4% vs.27.1%,χ2=64.44,P<0.001).However,the prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 9.1% and was significantly higher in the male ones (11.4% vs.5.9%,χ2=40.39,P<0.001).② Compared with that in NTN group,TT3 in TN group was significantly increased (t=6.04,P<0.001), but the other indexes did not obviously change in the two groups (P>0.05).③ Age,systolic blood pressure,and TG,LDL-C and serum uric acid levels were remarkably higher in TN group than in NTN group (P<0.001 ). Conclusion The prevalence of thyroid nodules in Xi’an City is noticeably high.High systolic blood pressure level, dyslipidemia and elevated uric acid are associated with thyroid nodules.Therefore,screening and management of the individuals with aforementioned characteristics deserve more attention.
